That would be the turn of the previous century or the turn of the 20th century, not the turn of the century which refers to the turn of the current century from the previous century. Literature/language is not important to you and you just want to larp.

well lulu and erdegeist is romanticism to the extreme, so much that Pabst had to clean it up and make it more real and raw

Oscar Wilde's novel and plays
Some Yeats' plays, poems
Some Shaw plays (he died in 1950 in his 90's after falling out of an apple tree)
Henry James' last big novels
Most of Joseph Conrad's work
Most of Thomas Hardy's
Much of Edith Wharton's
All of Stephen Crane's
